The other party had clearly seen her as well, looking like they wanted to approach but were somewhat embarrassed to do so. Just as Lin Chuxia was about to step forward, a clear, surprised voice rang out from behind her, "Sister?"
Lin Chuxia turned around and saw the teenager amidst the crowd.
Wang Tianyu couldn’t believe he was seeing the big sister who had helped him before, and only two steps after squeezing out of the crowd did he realize that Lin Chuxia seemed to have an unusual status today, attracting many glances. The boy’s face instantly flushed red.
But he didn’t back down and gathered his courage to say, "Sister, is this your shop? I wish you a roaring business and abundant wealth."
Lin Chuxia had already recognized him as the young boy from the public bus in the city that day and smiled and nodded in thanks.
Wang Tianyu knew this wasn’t the right time for a chat, scratched his head, and finally said, "Sister, my name is Wang Tianyu, I forgot to tell you last time. Today’s a weekend, my mom asked me to buy some stuff. Sister, from now on, for buns and ready-to-eat food, I’ll only patronize your shop."
Having said that, with his little face all red, he turned and disappeared back into the crowd.
Lin Chuxia smiled helplessly, this child, she had merely lent a hand easily, yet he kept it in his heart.
She glanced at the time once more and said to Qin Han behind her, "Big brother, get ready..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a few people had pushed through the crowd and came over with an intimidating presence.
"Excuse me, excuse me..."
"Disperse, disperse, what are you all crowding around here for?"
Three or four men, either tall or with a ruffian look on their face, walked in with a swaggering gait, sizing up the Bun Shop and the woman in front of them.
Seeing the newcomers, Qin Han, Qin Wu, and the others quickly stepped forward, shielding Lin Chuxia behind them.
Especially Qin Han and Qin Wu, one to the left and one to the right, shielded Lin Chuxia tightly.
"What are you trying to do?"
The lead man had the ruffian look of a man with medium-length hair, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
He ignored Qin Han, his gaze peering through the gap between their shoulders to fall on Lin Chuxia.
"We don’t mean to do anything in particular, just heard there’s a shop opening here and came to have a toast for congratulations. Just not sure if Boss Lin is willing to let the brothers give it a boost."
Qin Wu, dissatisfied, retorted, "Is this how you boost a place? Making people leave as soon as you get here?"
They had made such a fuss for the opening of their Bun Shop to attract a crowd. These people, without saying a word, started shooing others away. Clearly, they weren’t here to celebrate, but to cause trouble.
"Is this gentleman trying to teach us brothers how to handle things?" The lead man coldly looked towards Qin Wu, and the few people behind him instantly took a step forward.
Qin Wu clenched his fists tightly, and Qin Han also prepared for an attack.
Alongside them, Sun Wensong and Sun Bingnan also had serious expressions.
Lin Chuxia patted Qin Wu’s shoulder, indicating for him to step aside a little.
In the Qin Family, it was the two brothers, Qin Yang and Qin Wu who were tall, they shielded her so well she couldn’t see anything.
Qin Wu hesitated a bit, but Qin Han had already made room.
"Guests are coming, of course we welcome them, but I’m afraid these brothers aren’t just here to celebrate our shop’s opening, right?"
The lead man saw Lin Chuxia and a flicker of amazement passed through his eyes. He smiled meaningfully, "I didn’t expect it to be a female boss. I like dealing with smart women. It’s nothing really, the brothers are just worried the boss’s shop might not do well after its opening and want to offer you some protection. Wonder if the boss would honor us with that privilege?"
